Continuing straight from where Two Years On left off, Hopes and Dreams is Better Than The Book’s 2nd full length studio album.

We're excited to finally be presenting a brand new single by World Beyond's guitarist Nick Standing. His punk rock project Better Than the Book has always been about heartfelt lyrics and high energy guitar driven music. The new song entitled Meteor Shower from the upcoming album Hopes and Dreams reflects the issue of dealing with the reality of life that can be harsh and difficult at times. The lyric video designed and animated by Vladimir Kuznetsov shows a running silhouette of a man trying to escape a dangerous situation and nearly drowning along the way. Through overcoming the struggle he finds courage and power to fight his problems. The new album is available for preorder at Bandcamp.

Vladimir Kuznetsov and Nicholas Standing present a brand new World Beyond album "Nobody Asked For This So I Did It".
For the past 2 years we've been working on a new release, an album which draws inspiration from the music we listened to during our high school and university years. From the early 2000s to this day, the alternative and metal music genres have been a major part of both our lives. Countless songs by badass bands and artists - they were always there for us when we needed them. They empowered and encouraged us, helped us deal with pain and hardships, they were a way to vent and a way to find out there were people in this world like us, with thoughts and feelings we could relate to. And today we want to bring you a soundtrack for the reality you are living, no matter where you are in life, if you ever feel like nobody cares what you do or who you are, just put your headphones on. We want you to have something to carry with you, and to tune into whenever you most need it. We want you to feel confident; we want you to feel strong.
